Patologías frecuentes del aparato reproductor de gatas (Felis silvestris catus) intervenidas por ovariosalpingohisterectomía en la veterinaria Pet Angels.

Abstract

The degree work is focused on the identification and characterization of frequent pathologies in the reproductive tract of female cats (Felis silvestres catus) submitted to ovariohysterectomy (OSH) at the Pet Angels veterinary clinic in Guayaquil. The study provided a detailed view of reproductive pathologies in female cats submitted to OSH, mentioning the importance of vaginal cytology and postoperative analysis for early detection and adequate management of these conditions. In conclusion, the frequency of reproductive pathologies in female cats submitted to (OSH) at Pet Angels Veterinary is low. Of the 100 cats studied, the predominant pathologies were pyometra and ovarian cysts, while the incidence of other conditions such as endometritis was minimal. In addition, a high rate of pregnant felines was observed. The study also showed a predominance of young female cats, aged between 5 months and 2 years, with a total of 89 cases. This data suggests an increase in awareness about the care and responsible ownership of animals, since the performance of OSH in young cats contributes to the prevention of overpopulation and reproductive diseases.
